Destiny 2 is already a stunner, and it’s about to sharpen up dramatically. Bungie has revealed that the Destiny 2 4K-enhanced update will be rolling out to both Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro on 5 December. The update will be deployed in conjunction with the game’s first proper DLC, Curse of Osiris.

When it comes to that all-important bump in image quality, the PlayStation 4 Pro will display in adaptive 4K resolution, while those playing on Microsoft’s new machine will enjoy straight 4K. Both console versions will feature HDR lighting.

The developer hasn’t mentioned whether there will be any other improvements as we move to the mid-generation refresh consoles, but just seeing Destiny 2 running in proper 4K on a suitably monstrous television sounds like something to look forward to. Cue all the resolution junkies going on about pixels and anti-aliasing and all that.

Not going to harp on about GigaPixelUtions or any of that crap, but I am curious as to whether its still going to be capped at 30fps though.

Bungie has said in the past that all console versions of the game would be caped at 30. And when pushed on why it can’t run 60 they said that console cpu’s just isn’t good enough to achieve that. If that’s really true though is up for discussion. I would be more then happy to run at 1080p 60fps.
